With just a few luxury tents overlooking a permanent water source, it offers an intimate safari experience that captures the spirit of Botswana’s untamed wilderness.
Location
Nestled deep in Botswana’s Mababe Depression and overlooking a permanent waterhole where some of Africa’s most spectacular wildlife gather, Mokete Camp feels wonderfully remote and untouched. Accessible by light aircraft or helicopter, it’s the perfect base for immersing yourself in the wild, far from the crowds.
Rooms
With just nine spacious canvas suites, Mokete offers a perfect blend of comfort and connection with nature. Each tent has its own private deck, with both indoor and outdoor showers. The retractable roof is a favourite; you can fall asleep under the stars and wake up to the sounds of the bush. The decor is elegant yet understated, using natural tones and textures that complement the surroundings beautifully.
Amenities
The camp’s communal areas are relaxed, with a cosy lounge, a plunge pool, and a firepit that comes alive in the evenings. Meals are a highlight here; casual buffets by day and intimate dinners under the vast African sky. While there’s Wi-Fi if you need it, the real charm is in the face-to-face connections by the fire, sharing stories and spotting nocturnal wildlife.
Activities
Game drives are the heart of the Mokete experience, with morning and afternoon outings that reveal the drama of the bush. Think elephants at the waterhole and lions on the hunt. Night drives offer a chance to see the wild after dark, and soon walking safaris will be available for a deeper connection with the land. For a truly unique perspective, optional helicopter flights show the endless beauty of the Mababe from above.
Sustainability
Mokete Camp is built with respect for the environment and community. Fully solar-powered and off-grid, it uses recycled water and local produce to reduce its footprint. Single-use plastics are kept at bay with filtered water systems, and the team works closely with nearby villages, helping support local livelihoods and conservation efforts.
